Can Salt Aerosol Reduce Cough Sensitivity Caused by Dry Air?
Exposure to very dry atmospheric air causes protective airway mucus to collapse onto underlying cilia, triggering intense cough sensitivity that mimics chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis, according to a study published in Nature Scientific Reports. To combat this mucosal dehydration, researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine, in … Read more
